Christian Miller out of Spring Valley High School in Columbia, S.C., said he will play for the Crimson Tide on Thursday.

“It feels really good,” Miller told 247Sports.com of his choice. “I didn’t want to rush anything. I feel like I knew where I want to go and once I found the best place for me, to go on ahead and do it. That’s how I feel about Alabama. It does feel good to have it done so I can focus on my senior year and relax a little.”

Miller committed to Florida in February, but backed off and chose Alabama over Georgia and South Carolina, among others.

The 4-star prospect is the No. 40 overall player according to 247Sports.com and the No. 3 outside linebacker. He is the third linebacker commitment for the Tide’s 2014 class, joining inside linebackers Zach Whitley and Shaun Hamilton.
